Recenzii
'a very welcome addition to the excellent Oxford Studies of Composers series ... The musical examples are well considered and printed with the clarity and care we have come to expect from OUP at its best ... wholly readable and always stimulating.'Musical Opinion
'this book, with its numerous music examples, is a valuable addition to the Villa-Lobos bibliography, particularly when Wright concentrates on more matter-of-fact appraisals of the subject-matter'Lisa M. Peppercorn
'Wright's well-written book ... is an excellent example of the new trend of historical musicology concerned with the understanding of "why" a musical expression is the way it is. Strongly recommended.'Kazadi wa Mukuna, Kent State University, Choice, Jan '93
'The recent biography of Heitor Villa-Lobos by Simon Wright provides readers with the best concise biography available of Brazil's most renowned composer. It also offers a valuable perspective on contemporaneous political events in Brazil and on the personal life of the composer ... Wright has chosen his music examples carefully, after extensive research and listening ... The conclusions Wright draws are thought-provoking and bound to stimulate additional research and study of the life of Villa-Lobos.'David P. Appleby, Notes, June 1993
'Simon Wright's succinct and well-written guide will serve well ... this little book is more than a collection of program notes. In the end the reader comes away having learned something about the fascinating musical world of this composer ... Wright's illuminating exposé arouses compelling interest in his subject, and he leaves us eager to investigate the unfortunately meagre discography available and to probe deeper into the bibliographic references he provides ... To this end, the author has achieved an admirable goal.'Robert Markow, Classical Music Magazine, September 1993
`Strongly recommended.'Choice Jan'93
`Wright, as much as home in Brazilian literature and politics as in music, helps us to assess the extent of Villa-Lobos's hijacking of that tradition by viewing him from within his own culture.'Malcolm Troup, Musical Times
Wright..offers the best of both worlds, rooting the composer's story in the social and political upheavals which characterised Brazil during his lifetime and restricting in-depth technical discussion to a handful of key works... Could it be that we may yet come to regard him as one of the more significant composers of the twentieth century? Simon Wright's book should help us make a fairer assessment.'David Gutman, New CDs
